Description:5-(4-Bromophenyl)furfural is an organic compound characterized by its furan and aromatic bromobenzene moieties. It features a furan ring, which is a five-membered heterocyclic structure containing one oxygen atom, and a bromophenyl group, where a bromine atom is substituted on the para position of a phenyl ring. This compound typically appears as a yellow to brown solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dichloromethane, but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications, including as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the bromine atom enhances its electrophilic character, allowing for further substitution reactions. Additionally, 5-(4-bromophenyl)furfural may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be reviewed, as halogenated compounds can pose environmental and health risks. Proper handling and disposal procedures are essential when working with this substance.
